R.E.M. - Leaving New York: chords

Em                   D#               C
It's quiet now, and what it brings is everything
Comes calling back, a brilliant night, I'm still awake
I looked ahead, I'm sure I saw you there
You don't need me to tell you now that nothing can compare

Chorus:
G                            D
you might have laughed if I told you
 C                          Am
you might have hidden the frown
     G                        D
you might have succeeded in changing me
C                          Am
I might have been turned around
     G                        D
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
 C                     Am
leaving was never my proud
 G                     D
leaving New York never easy
C                     Am
I saw the life fading out

Now life is sweet and what it brings, I tried to take
But loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in wait
And all I've lost, still in my eyes
The shadow of necklace across your thigh
I might've lived my life in a dream,
but I swear, this is real
Memory fuses and shatters like glass,
mercurial future, forget the past
It's you, it's what I feel

Chorus

Em                   D#                     Em
you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
                     D#
you find it in your heart, change.
   G                    D
I told you, forever, I love you, forever
(you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
   C                       Am
I told you ,I love you, I love you, forever
(you find it in your heart, change)
   G                    D
I told you, forever, I love you, forever
(you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
   C                       Am
I told you, I love you, I love you, forever
(you find it in your heart, change)
